In order to bring her starving family
to New Jersey, Polish immigrant and housemaid Marcella Lipski must marry wealth…so
she dons her employer's discarded ball gowns and goes husband hunting at
Newark's tourist spots. There are a few problems, though. Ella's shy. She knows
nothing of the rules governing American high society. She'll lose her job if
she's recognized. Oh, and she can't speak a speck of English. When a
poor-but-mysterious cart driver catches her eye, she must protect her heart at
all costs. She won’t leave her family hopeless.

Woody Harris has no desire to be rich, and he lives out his faith by giving
most of his possessions away to the street kids on his freight route. When his
horse spooks and bowls over Ella, inflicting bruises, Woody offers her free
conveyance for a week and starter lessons in English as compensation. He's soon
charmed by her innocent, farm-girl ways and her concern for "his"
kids. But by the time he learns Ella will only marry for money, it's already
too late for his heart.
